Just thinking the other day, sure are some quality people on this forum.

I sold my 150 Roketa mid winter. I put it on CL not expecting much and within 24 hours, I had three people that wanted it. First lady paid full asking price. I also had to replace the battery because the Roketa was dead dead. She lived a few miles away and rode it home.
Wonders never cease.

Thanks everyone,
It has 2641 miles and I know the trunk is HUGE but it is a Lance trunk and it is bigger than most inside also so it will fit a full faced helmet and a jacket. It is also spring loaded so that makes it easier to load. It also is going to add support for any riders I take with me. I also got a matching full faced helmet with the deal. I stripped everything out of the inside and put all the padding in the washer. Put it all back together and cleaned up the overspray on the outside. It does have some nicks but it will fit my wife and daughter perfectly, too small for my fat head.

I also think it is smaller than let's say a Roketa 250, but I have not checked the spec sheet for dimensions yet. I thought the 250 would have a lot more leg room than the 150 but I have not fealt that yet. I also prefer the windshield that is attached to the cowl rather than this one which is part of the handlebars.

As far as it running, so far so good, I have been starting it about twice a week since replacing the starter, battery and solenoid, and cleaning the carb. All I do is bump the starter and it fires up immediately. I have only gone through the parking lot in the school across the street just to shake out any bugs but so far so good. I am trying to get any big projects taken care of now while it is not riding season and tweak and work on small things that will not disable the bike for several days to fix. Like I said, I have to put new pads on the rear. I still need to change oil and take the front fairing apart and adjust the mirrors so I can see more than the muffler and the back seat.

I am NOT crazy about an all black scoot and thought about two-toning it. The Lance web page has one that is two-toned with the small panels just behind the footboards painted a different color. I thought about painting mine silver to brighten up the black a bit and then adding some silver pinstriping but not sure yet. I already have new lettering for the sides as you can see in the picture, I had to repair and paint the one panel that was cracked and the other side they are just torn off.

If I decide I don't like it, I can always sell it for a profit and buy something more to my liking. There's ALWAYS something on CL. Got to get some, "miles and smiles" on it first.

Finished putting my new tires on today. Mounted them myself and then I had to take them to the local tire shop because my compressor did not have enough nads to pop the bead. Cleaned up the wheels and they were so dirty, I had to scrub them twice. I also found out the PO ran the brake pads down to nothing. Literally, there was NO pad left on either the inside or outside. Also looks like it has been like that for a while because the rotor looks worn down so I need to order a new set. Maybe between the nose rings, lip rings, eye ring and most likley a weeny ring, he could not figure out what the high pitched squealing was...DUH! I also gave it a quickie bath even though there is still snow on the ground. Still lots of cleaning left to do but it is starting to shape up. Not bad for $375!

Znen makes Lance. Sounds like mine. Hope you have better luck than Mcalli with her new ride. As far as the body panels...Soduku bro. Let me know if you need some help.

Looks awesome,
Please keep us posted with pics of progress.
